AKG c3000

highly affordable akg large-diaphragm microphone technology
cardioid polar pattern for multiplicity of vocal and instrument applications
the earlier model c 3000 has had a large fan club in the project studio and home recording worlds for years. for the new c 3000 b, akg designed a special 1-inch large-diaphragm transducer that closely approximates the vibration performance of top-class studio microphones, but can be made at much lower cost.

due to its surface area and special capsule tuning, the c 3000 b large-diaphragm transducer produces an exceptionally pleasing, smooth sound. unlike in the c 3000, the switchable 10-db preattenuation pad immediately follows the transducer in the signal path, thus increasing the c 3000 b's spl capability by a true 10 db. loud sound sources are therefore no problem.

an acoustically optimized cardioid polar pattern makes the c 3000 b an excellent choice for both recording and live sound applications where high gain before feedback is paramount.
